How TO Make Tea.

Leigh Hunt, Soyer and hundreds Of clever
people have written their opinions as to tie
best way of making tea. Three things are
essential: Good tea, good teapot and boiling
soft water. We viii discuss the goodness of
the tea later. The best tea pot is a silver one
OF good thickness; earthenware cools more
rapidly; but whatever the kind see that it is
dry and scrupulously clean-not a vestige of
an old leaf inside. Make it thoroughly warm
before you begin And preserving the aroma
OF the tea is another Of the great points. If
you cannot get soft water do not despise an
infinitesimal portion Of soda. Be sure the
water boils, really boils so that the steam
comes well out of the kettle, and never boil
it up twice. Measure the tea into cup; a
spoonful for each person and one for the pot
is an old fashioned but sensible reckoning.
Open the lid quickly and slip the tea in; pour
on sufficient water to well cover it and close
the lid. BY this means the tea pot does not
cool as it would il you measured each spoon
full separately into it. Let it stand four min
utes; add enough water for the cups required,
and in five minutes more pour out little in
each cup all round till all are filed and
equally strong; then add more water for a
second cup If allowed to infuse too long it
is well nigh poisonous; if it cannot be drunk
at once it should be drained off from the
leaves into another tea pot.-Cassells Family
Magazine.

The Rising Generation.

A quartet of school girls sat in front of me
in the car all the way TO town one morning,
and as | watched their transparent poses, their
pretty affections and mimic emotions, could
but wonder if the rising generation of women
were not just little behind their mothers
and their grandmothers. 1t seems to me there
is dash of insolence in the new girls which
escaped the old. Are they not little less
quick to be regardful Of a strangers feelings,

A Mothers ExneriIneEt.

A certain fashionable lady, finding that her
favorite daughter, for whom she had great
expectations, was susceptible in a quarter
that did not meet the mothers aspirations,
determined upon launching her suddenly into
social gayeties, from which she had desired
for number of reasons to hold her back as
long as possible She accordingly said to her
daughter: This is but an infatuation; You
know nothing of the world or society, and
when you do your ideas will be entirely
changed
Thereupon the mother went 70 work and
did for the daughter what most young women
would consider the attainment Of happiness.
She bought her the finest dresses, presented
her with jewels, gave dinners and parties for
her, spent 5000 for ball, and in fact made
her central figure in the world of fashion
and its gaveties. She did not hesitate q mo-
ment in telling the daughter that if her
youthful fancy survived the wider experience
of men and society she would acquire, no
further effort TO cure her would be made.
The season is over, the daughter has seen 1t
all. and persists in her choice, ard the mother,
who is the wiser by the experience. has moth
